I was going downtownJust the other day to meet my matesThey said I'll meet you downDown in that mean old burying groundI can shack my rattleRattle my bonesJust don't lay down before you're doneYou can rag momma ragYou can't help it if it's not your bagDown in the St. Louis cemetaryGot the St. Louis cemetary bluesWe shall walk through the valleyWalk through the valley soonWe shall talk with the spiritsTalk with the spirits soonEven Jesus himself shall be our leaderAnd you can rag momma ragYou can't help it if it's not your bagDown at the St. Loius cemetaryGot the St. Louis cemetary blues
